I am shocked by this news. So shocked that I watched yesterday's Y&R after years of not watching (to see Victoria Redd and Mishael Morgan scenes) to satisfy the nostalgia the news made me feel. It's been years since I have been to this site but I had to come here to see what you guys thought about the new soap. I feel as if all the letters and emails I sent over the years have finally been answered. I'm getting everything I want...majority Black cast, wealthy, soap opera. Super excited to see the casting and character names and how this will all turn out. May we all be satisfied with the product. 😁

I see Sally has the same storyline as every white female character the show wants to push...a WTD/triangle with the Newman brothers. I will continue to pass on Y&R.

I long stopped watching daytime. Just couldn't stomach the creative decisions. However, I saw this news and immediately came here to see what you guys though. And yeah, the response is expected. I fear this task is too big for Griffith. He's in over his head.

Not to bring up a dead conversation. But having watched every soap that aired at some point between 1991 and today (31 years this month) and being one of Mishael's biggest supporters, I also feel the hollowness of her win. I'm happy for her. Ecstatic. But it comes at a time when the show has done everything possible to ruin her popularity and earned place on this show. She doesn't get much airtime or focus. They've steadily deprived BOTH her character of something the most mediocre white character gets (talking anchor baby here). She won YET the genre has not changed it's ways. Someone said the genre will have to if it wants to survive. That's rich. Didn't we watch show after show go off the air without ever truly trying to do much of anything with respect to diversity? Even when shows did, TPTB eventuslly cut off their noses to spite their face. The death of Hilary proved that, AGAIN. but still, congratulations Mishael.

That's sweet. VR helped pave the way for this night. I know black Hollywood is small but I'm curious how she knows LAR. Have they worked together?

It's possible I missed it becausey viewing has been spotty for years. But I didn't think either Mariah or Tessa were lesbians. Last I recall, Mariah made a point of saying that Tessa was the only woman she ever had these feelings for...and they were unique to her. Tessa was played as not meaning to hurt Noah after the break up. Not that narratives don't change to suit story but I've never seen scenes where she stated she was using Noah for money.

Despite hating the story, I'm happy to see MiM and BJ in top 5. Kudos to the show for at least attempting to give focus to someone who isn't white. All the stories are crap. Let them get their crap like everybody else.

That's probably true

Exactly on the 3/4ths white baby. But TPTB at Y&R don't think normally when it comes to race.

Joe Morton is playing the same character as on scandal. But I was entertained by him anyway.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. But I adore watching rich Black folks be messy on my TV in any form.

Where's Naya and Imani? When writers decided to use Devon (and Amanda) as angst and supporting to Abby/Chance romance and baby story, that killed any story for the rest of the Black cast except lily is mostly utilized as Billy's girlfriend. Not only did Naya and Imani disappear, but Nate and Elena also got short changed. I'm convinced those babies that play Dominic always wear hats because the show believes they look less white (or more mixed race) with the hat on than off.

Chance is joining the ranks of Y&R male characters who are characterized by their man pain. That's how you know that TPTB are invested. He's another Billy and Adam. Same characters.

The only decent ending to this story is to kill off that cute lil baby. I hate his existence.

😂😂😂 There is only a handful of characters that I care about so I'd be fine with with everyone I listed being killed.

But you won't like who the show kills. Let me give you a tentative list: Tessa Elena Nate Jill Nina Tracy Lauren The killer will be caught as he/she tries to murder Sharon.

This. The entire purpose of this story was to tie Devon to Abby (and Chance). The show wanted them to have a child to coparent. There won't be a court case because Chance will talk Abby into giving Devon shared custody. Devon and Amanda moving into the Chancellor mansion wouldn't surprise me. The only thing that would surprise me is the show doing a serious romance between Devon and Abby. They'd do Chance and Amanda in a heartbeat though.

I know I will sound like a broken record to say the same things year after year but...Add Courtney Hope to the list of white females that come on this show to get mega airtime and finish in the top 10 whereas Mishael, Brytni, Leigh-Ann, Ptosha Story just can't get there no matter what happens.

I recall your saying it at the time and always thought it had merit.

Great interview. Very sad segment about KSJ. I had no idea he was bipolar. And I don't think he was off the mark about losing his job. The show seemed to be phasing him out. I regret the events that led to his death and that he wasn't able to get the help he needed.

Paul? How so? At one point, Kay was Chance's great grandmother.

I hate this Devon/Abby baby story. It's makes no sense for either party but especially not Devon

I'm the opposite, I hope this story gets wrapped up and that scene is the end of it. It's been going almost 8 months with no action just dialogue. I think viewers are tired of it even if they can appreciate the performances.

Leigh Ann Rose is a star and her Imani just pops off the screen. Y&R has struck gold. I hope they don't screw this up too.

Amanda's family is very interesting. As you all stated, the casting is excellent. Imani is just as beautiful as Amanda/Hilary. They look like family. Im hoping that Imani and Amanda become very close.
